We Protect Your Financial Interests in Divorce
Through all the emotional commotion of divorce, you need to remember that your financial future is on the line. With accusations and issues about child custody flying at you from every direction, it is easy to forget that you will be living with your divorce settlement for years to come. Maybe for the rest of your life. Texas is a community property state. We will fight for your right to receive your equitable portion of the community assets or get you a disproportionate amount, if you are entitled to it. Your attorney at Kerr & Hendershot will have the knowledge and experience to fight aggressively to protect your interests.
At Kerr & Hendershot, we understand the property division and financial issues that go along with the dissolution of marriage. We also know that there are no two judges or family law courts alike in Texas. Getting the property and debt agreement or judgment that protects your interests means evaluating your financial position fairly and presenting the evidence clearly and effectively. That's why we don't take anything for granted.
"There is no shortcut for getting things right in your property settlement. When there is doubt about the actual value of your family's net worth, we know how unique assets are to be valued and properly present the experts to establish the appropriate value. You will be counting on your property settlement after your divorce. We maximize the return on the investment of protecting your financial interests." — Attorney Lennea M. Cannon
Our team looks at every divorce property division case as an individual case. No two families' financial situations have ever been exactly the same. Whether you are a person of high net worth, or are simply trying to receive your fair division of your house in the suburbs, protecting your rights is our first priority. Our lawyers will maximize the return for the community assets of your marriage.

What Is the True Value of Your Assets
Many people don't realize that their family assets are more than just the money in the bank and the house. A full valuation of your estate will include federal benefits, pensions, stocks and mutual funds and the good will value of certain businesses. Texas family law judges expect a clean and honest reporting of asset value. We know the rules and expectations and work diligently to ensure that our clients' interests are aggressively protected.
Family Debts
Spouses also come to the divorce court with debts. Any debts incurred during the marriage are typically considered community debt, to be shared in a just and right manner by the parties. But what about debt incurred prior to the marriage, or student loans? How will they be dealt with? Dividing debt fairly requires knowledge of very specific rules. Let us help you protect your financial future.
